Buckwheat is a fruit seed that is related to the rhubarb. Though not actually a grain it can be used like one in cooking. It is considered a super food, and ranks low on the glycemic index. It has more protein than rice, wheat millet or corn, yet contains no gluten, therefore it is safe to eat for those who have a gluten allergy or celiac disease.
